Between 1900 and 1901, the Commission approved Ernesto Bazzaro project for Stefano Branca tomb, with a woman representing a soul ascending to the sky.
The original monument was removed in 1908 due to polemics about it, the actual Pietà by Michele Vedani seems static even if probably more suitable for this kind of place.
On the second floor of the Rocchetta, a great variety of decorative arts from Lombardy, including artistic ceramics, antique furniture, and ivories dating from the 4th to the 18th centuries.
